Personally I had not met Elsie; our family connection was through my late wife Donna (Fitzpatrick) and her longtime friend Victoria, Elsie's sister. Elsie sounded like a wonderful person and her attributes are well reflected in the heartfelt tribute from niece Karen.
Sincere condolences to Victoria and family.

I am honoured to pay tribute to my beloved Auntie Elsie.

For as long as I can remember, my Aunt and her family have been a large part of my life. I have many personal memories that I will cherish forever, but what I would like to share with you is my personal perspective on the kind of person my Aunt was. I know this will be familiar to anyone who knew her well.

My Aunt was the kindest of kind-hearted people, she was the purest of thought and mind, and one of the most selfless and down to earth people I have ever known. She was without pretense or judgement, always putting others before herself, and a constant source of calm and support. She was fun loving and full of cheer in happy times and I will always remember her as an exceptionally talented cook and for her love of good conversation.

Her strength, resilience and determination throughout life was truly extraordinary and evidence of her unwavering love for and devotion to her family. Her 4 Children, 7 Grandchildren, 6 Great-Grandchildren and 1 Great-Great Grandchild are a testament to her legacy, and she lives on forever through them.

My mother, Victoria, and her sister had a very special bond, not only as sisters but also as lifelong friends. My mother has shared with me on many occasions the relationship they had as young siblings. As an older sister to my mother, my
Aunt was a constant protector and advocate. My Aunt would always ensure she was never left out of or pushed aside she pulled her in closer at all times to include her in whatever activities the older kids were doing. Throughout life, she always had her sister's back and was there when she needed her, especially at the most trying times.

These are examples of the type of person she was her whole life - this is simply who she was.

As we say our final goodbye to her and grieve her passing, the loss we feel is profound, but I want us all to celebrate her life and remember the person she was with love and admiration. I do believe that in our time, we all will be reunited with the people who meant the most to us in our lives. For now, she is with our loved ones who have passed before her, but truly still with us in heart and spirit every time we think of her and the impact that she had on our lives. The gift of the love she had for us will never leave us, and we honor her by living our lives as she did with selflessness and integrity.

On behalf of my mother and sister, I want to say to her now, Auntie Elsie, we will always love you and you will be forever in our hearts. We have been very blessed to have had you in our lives and we will hold you close in spirit, until we meet again.
